I am not being ugly are sarcastic here I am truly trying to understand your point of view and your stand on the subject.
I have found over many years of racing that fans in the stands tend to respond and champion cars that are attractive to the eye. The booing of Stewart is nothing new. He won last year with a classic midget tank and was boo'd. So the fact that he didn't finish either night and was boo'd was in my humble opinion merely an extension of the fact that for the most part many fans in his home state do not support him for what ever reason. Stewart is hard core competitor as can be seen in his other racing pursuits. Because he can afford to experiment with the car, and obviously with the promoter's blessing, should he be penalized for that? I truly am trying to be open minded and understand your complaint but at this point I am somewhat lost.

There were different somewhat related issues as the thread progressed and I think you are mixing some of them up with each other.
